These sneakers are Adidas. I like the color. I walk at least 1000 paces. They smell
lovely!

My sneakers are made by Nike. How far do I walk in them? Three of four kilometers a day, I
guess. They smell sweaty!

These are Nike Metroplus sneakers. They' pink, old school and I love them. I don't know
how far I walk in them because I only wear them at weekends when I'm not working. We've
been to some awesome places together! They smell like rose petals!

Tokyoites are used to trekking long distances, and as far as foot fashion fares, comfort
is cool. But as Tokyo gets hot, feet feel the heat, and with people shedding their shoes
left right and center, it's gonna be smell hell. This week our roving reporter asks: What
make are your sneakers? How far do you walk in them every day? And, tell us the smell: Do
your feet reek, or are your toes sweet as a rose?

I walk about two kilometers a day in these Pro Kids. What do they smell like? Have a sniff
and see for yourself...
HELEN AND NANA/
STUDENTS
HELEN: My sneakers are Adidas. I walk a long way in them. They smell like my foot
deodorant.
NANA: These are by LeFreak. I'm too short to wear non-platform sneakers! I walk as far as
I can go. They smell like my stinky socks.
